DMOZ - Changing category

I am one of the newbies here to so sorry if this is a frustrating question. I currently have our site rocky-peak Ski Holidays listed under Regional: North America: Canada: Travel and Tourism: Travel Services: Travel Agents but would be better suited to Sports: Winter Sports: Skiing: Travel Programs: North America as we have evolved into more of a ski company now.

We would also like to be listed under regional like our competitors (Regional: North America: Canada: Alberta: Travel and Tourism: Travel Services ) - is this possible as I thought you could only get listed once, or have our competitors slipped through the net and it is just a matter of time before one of their listings gets deleted?

What is the best way to change categories in DMOZ as there are no editors for the categories we want to be listed in and we don't want to lose our one listing altogether. We just want to do everything right!

Any help on what to do would be very much appreciated - thanks in advance!

You can request and an editor might agree with your assessment - move you to the unreview quene of the category you desire... and then wait for years for someone to review... and then because the category has adequate representation - you're deleted as similar... or it could be immediately changed or some other variation that your commercial interests don't agree with.

You are best to leave well enough alone and let the editor determine "man this website is awesome... it need 101 listings!" ... without bias for or against - just pure merit of the site's accomplishments.

...surely you don't expect hundreds or thousands of missed visitors from not being in the other cats... or think that visitors from the current cat are "misinformed" about your site in the cat you are in.

Good point fathom - I'll just leave well alone. Thanks for the feedback.
